Heheheh, well funnily enough, the new owner is a mate. He told me when it went bang, and I did apologise, but I couldn't have really known, as it ran fine like I say for another year after the incident.

As he's a car dealer and a good mechanic, he bought a decent 2nd hand motor for a few hundred quid and dropped it in. I did feel guilty though...

...to the extent that I bought the Jeep back from him four years after selling it to him. Gave him the price he asked for, a good price, so in the end we're all happy, and my guilt has been buried forever!

Anyway, what's the weather like out where you are mate? Been out in the mud lately? driving
Weather here is about to get ball-dragging hot. There is always mud here in between droughts. Plenty of mud goers out here but I try to stay clear. smile

Sorry, not bulletproof in the slightest. Infact they are wallet draining timebombs, but still amongst the best cars on the road. So much to go wrong with them though.

How about one of these, not the prettiest of vehicles granted (in fact they are god damn ugly),but you get a few luxurys, great comfort and if you get one with the cosworth engine then happy days
